And Then I Shall Be King!

And so the word was spread, to near and far, from village to hamlet across the land, that whosoever shall pull the mighty stick Excalibur from the ground shall be declared ruler of all Dogland. At least that’s what I tell myself. Stupid stick.

Listen, Neil H., supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical woodland ceremony!

    What is with the orange hanging around his neck?

    • Mikeyfur says:

      Yes, someone have a theory about the gadget around his neck? I first thought maybe it was to slow him down and keep him from running too far ahead of his humans…but a dog who tries to uproot large trees would need something way bigger and heavier to slow him down even a little bit.

    • ThirdShift says:

      I too, demand to know what this is! It looks like a toy? Like you stuff a t-r-e-a-t in there and you hang it on his neck and he amuses himself for hours while you watch Monty Python in peace? I gots to know!

    • Tamara says:

      I think his hoomin keeps a stash in there for a spot ‘o’ tea like how those rescue mastiff’s carry around a teeny barrel full of liquid courage!

    • Gigi says:

      I think it’s a gadget to carry poop bags in.

    Oh geez, I missed the Monty Python reference tucked away almost like a postscript/epilogue.

    Thank you for feeding our pop culture appetite.

    [waits for a coconut/killer bunny reference]

    I kept waiting for the full-sized tree to pop out of the hole when he finally got it loose!

  11. Rachael says:

    Aww, poor guy. You can hear the frustration in his vocalizingks. :)

  12. laineyg6 says:

    That just made me grin. That dog’s noises were so funny and adorable. So glad it got caught on camera!

  13. 6rabbits says:

    I’m thinkun that all the growlinks are actually some doggy swearin’! Love when he stops @ about :20 and looks around, like…”help, anyone?”

  14. Ani Møller says:

  15. Dianne says:

    I remember why I like German Shepards. They are incrediable strong, persistent and just great! He did make a dent in the big stick.
